Dr's ABC

DRSABC is a mnemonic to remember how to treat a casualty. Mr Bill came across a casualty in his assessment today. She seemed to have dropped a television on herself but fortunately she was still breathing. The next casualty had given herself a very nasty plastic cut with a plastic knife.....

D -assess the Danger of the situation where the casualty is
R- consider your Response
S-Shout for help
A-is the Airway clear
B-is the casualty Breathing
C-Circulation; does the casualty have a pulse

Mr Bill saved his casualties and so passed his assessment.

While on parade Mr Bill was commended on his shiny shoes today - so all that polishing is starting to pay off.

We spent the evening trying to iron a crease 1" from the seam on Mr Bill's jacket. It was quite tricky to get a good crease without buning the jacket but I think we managed it.

Mr Bill also had a diversity training session this afternoon that involved watching the film 'Crash' (I am not sure if they were provided with popcorn)
